Sadly, just over a week ago we lost our twin boys
Teddy came and went from this world quickly and quietly. He passed peacefully. Our younger twin, Rafe, was not born until Tuesday 23, but died later that day in NeoNatal ICU.
Baby loss, and coping with grief, is very hard 1/

- I am an MP I had surgeries today in Hexham with constituents, Knocked doors in Allendale, and went to my local pub I will do all this next week +hold the @TyneJobsFair on Friday I mourn #SirDavidAmess ... but for all my @HouseofCommons colleagues, we keep going 👍 #Democracy
- Have struggled all day with the loss of @JBrokenshire His death, at only 53, is senseless Please, seize the day Hug the one you love Be all that you can be This is not a rehearsal
- Utterly misleading / unfair tweet and criticism 👇🏼 The Home Sec @pritipatel was attending the arrest of a suspected leader of a people smuggling gang. I prosecuted these people pre 2010 - they are proper villains. As an ancestor of recent migrants I fully support her action 1/
- Welcoming Christopher Coleman Opperman, who has been called Kitto for many months, to this wonderful world. Know that you will always be loved little man.
- SNP have lost the plot
- Big @Conservatives win in #Northumberland County Council by election in #Seghill tonight: a positive swing to us, in a crucial former Labour ward ✅ CON: 55.5% (+1.1) LAB: 40.5% (-5.0) GRN: 2.3% (+2.3) LDM: 1.7% (+1.7) Well done Eve, Barry, Caitlin, and all the team 🙏👍
- Simply not true👇🏼 I have worked in 4 govt departments (unlike Hannan) Yes, the civil service can improve, but this is political clickbait and needs to be challenged. If you want a better and more driven civil service get better ministers, a clearer plan and a laser like focus.
- I have missed @afneil - the BBC were mad to let him go. A great intro, genuinely worth 5 minutes if your time, whatever your views. And as an MP I can assure you that all MPs in @HouseofCommons know he is the best interviewer: 👇🏼👍
00:00 - Ian Levy, the new @Conservatives MP for #BlythValley in #Northumberland - taking it in with wife Maureen and daughter Alice #GE2019
- Another GAIN!! The leader of the Labour group in Northumberland has lost her seat of Hartley - by 1 vote to @Conservatives She had a massive majority in 2017 This is a trend
- I believe Government should be focusing on the issues affecting our economy, the cost of living, and the necessity of ending the war in Ukraine. I do not believe the many months associated with leadership change helps that; I do not support colleagues undermining the PM 1/
- As a Labour MP you are one of the reasons the country does not take Labour seriously. I back the police 100%. They are true public servants and keep you safe.Bristol Police brutality is the boot of capitalist state established to keep us all in order
